    Have to agree with you SB. But two of my four electric guitars have sedimental (oops sentimental) value due to who I got them from. The other two I have either made or are in the process of making. And I have a sell one/buy one deal going with my wife, so if I want more.......

    All the colour coats are on.
    Now to pile up the clear shiny.

    Man, you want to enjoy rubbing stuff to build these things, eh?
    While each application has only taken around 20 and 30 minutes from start up to clean up, I have made two passes with the base stain, seven passes with the enhancer/intensifier, and now I'm on to the clear, which I imagine will be about five to ten coats.
    On top of that cleaning up the binding after each pass with the colour is a right royal PITA, but that is over now.

    I don't think I can take the credit for that, tho I do have some awesome German free-cut paper and sanded it from 220, 360, 500, 780, 1000, 1500 (which I swear is smoother than most toilet paper).

    Luck of the draw, but you have definitely made the most of it. Lovely.

    I have to laugh tho, 6 hours in, and I still dont know if I am going to like the feel or the sound of it.


    Not sure what the go is with my camera, tho!
    Colours are all screwy.
    Here is some reference points.
